Peeta vs. President Snow.

Praise be! The good people at Lionsgate have presented us with an unexpected gift: A deleted scene from The Hunger Games: Mockingjay—Part 1. The movie might have premiered in November, but we're still not over the craziness that was the first half of the series' third installment, so this is a welcome treat.

In the scrapped clip, President Snow explains to Peeta why he needs to be the Capitol's symbol and "voice of reason." What's most exciting about this snippet is the movie itself gives us very little of what's happening to Peeta while Katniss is out and about filming propaganda ads and hanging with sexy Gale in a boiler suit. So with this, we get a glimpse of the Peeta-Snow behind-the-scenes action. And—surprise!—it's creepy.

"You're understanding everything but one detail: I'm not asking." SHIVERS.

And here, another freshly released scene, this one featuring Effie Trinket rescuing Katniss from the hands of some not-so-experienced makeup artists:
